There might be a few guys around here who still have m1 helmets that they might want to sell. Which merchants are you looking at? So far, reliable ones are hikishop 1620, spearhead militaria, cuttonmare, koliya1985, epic militaria and a few others. We've got a good cheap source for US webbing in india if you need some. I'll wait for the US experts to help you out on the helmet. Even if you're not fully equipped, if you fiond the time, you can meet up with us on our regular sunday games as well. Happy Hunting!

If you plan to do an airborne impression, you're better off getting a repro liner from atthefront.com, then just buying the steel shell locally, i think. Unless there is an airborne helmet repro online. If your doing ranger, you can just buy the steel shells and plastic/fiberglass liners from quiapo for less than a thousand pesos. Then order khaki chinstraps online.

they still sell M1 helmets here. Thats what the "sikyus" still use. Just apply cork and paint it.
I saw some in 168 Divisoria under the escalator where they sell (or used to) airsoft stuff. Buy liner outside Camp Crame, but also look around for the helmet there. They sell cheap like P150 i think.

Hi i just received my M1 helmet today from Ebay. The itme is nice. However, the only mistake of seller is that the helmet chin strap is in correct its not a world war 2 it looks like a toy. Any way I took it off. Is there anybody in Manila or in Hong Kong selling only the chin strap. i tried looking some military shops in U.S. it will cost around $ 16.00 per pair plus shipping. Appreciate if somebody can point me one
